Tight end Brock Wright isn’t going anywhere. According to a report from NFL Network, the Detroit Lions have opted to match the San Francisco 49ers’ offer sheet for Wright, meaning he’ll now be under contract with the Lions on a three-year, $12 million with reportedly $6 million guaranteed. UPDATE: The Lions have confirmed this. The Lions originally offered Wright a one-year, $2.985 million restricted free agent tender. However, that tender allowed Wright to search elsewhere for a better deal. That’s when the 49ers made their offer, which Wright signed. After that, the Lions had two options: sign Wright to the exact same deal or let him go to the 49ers with no compensation in return. We don’t quite know the full details of Wright’s contract—though I outlined a potential breakdown here. Regardless, it’s clear the Lions value the work Wright does as their No. 2 tight end. Wright played over 1,000 snaps for the Lions over the past two seasons, with his primary job being a blocker in the run game. Lions rumors start with Detroit possibly adding Tyler Boyd to the Detroit Lions roster. Should the Lions sign free agent WR Tyler Boyd? Find out from the latest Lions mailbag rumors.
